You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
家族を妻の実家へ送り届けた帰り道、4月以来となる念願の山岡家へ、今年初めてようやく足を運ぶことができた。
After dropping my family off at my wife’s parents’ home, I finally made my way to Yamaokaya—my first visit since April and a long-awaited treat to start the year.
いつもの辛味噌ラーメンに3種のネギを全てトッピングし、麺大盛りとライスも付けた炭水化物フルコースで自分を徹底的に甘やかす。
I opted for my go-to order: Spicy Miso Ramen with a triple-onion topping, a large serving of noodles, and a side of rice for a truly indulgent meal.
ガツンとくる香りと共にニンニクを山ほど投入し、エジプトへ行く際にも必ず食べていたあの「青春の味」を心ゆくまで満喫した。
The bold aroma immediately brought back memories, and after adding plenty of garlic, I savored the “flavor of my youth” that accompanied my many departures to Egypt.
変わらない美味しさがそこにある安心感と、一口ごとに蘇る懐かしい記憶に、心もお腹もこれ以上ないほどパンパンに満たされていく。
Knowing that this unmistakable taste is always there to welcome me back provides a profound sense of comfort and leaves me feeling completely replenished.
忘れられない味を力に変えて、この一年も自分らしく全力で駆け抜けるための、最高のエネルギーチャージが完了した。
This nostalgic meal has served as the perfect energy boost, and I am now fully prepared to embrace the professional and personal goals I’ve set for the year ahead.
To be continued.
